Abstract excerpt
Sympetaly (fused petals) is a major innovation driving floral diversity, yet its genetic basis in the highly successful Asteraceae family is elusive. We therefore investigated the molecular mechanisms controlling this trait in Chrysanthemum morifolium. We conducted functional analyses of candidate genes, examined their spatiotemporal expression patterns, and performed biochemical assays to investigate the...
